This must be what it feels like to be a fanboy. Deep down, I know this show isn’t going be worthwhile. I’m justifying it to myself entirely by saying, “Well, it doesn’t outright offend me, so I guess it’s ok. I guess.” But I can’t help it because super robots. I mean, there’s going to be a Getter one and Jeeg one and a Gaiking one and a Gakeen one and a Baratak one. How many out there even knew what those last two were without having to look at the links? So I can’t help but want to watch it while also recognizing that this is a really stupid thing.
Outside of that, the show is going to run on Toei’s online channel as a series of ~10 minute shorts. It’ll be packed to the gills with super robot references that Toei has the rights to and is likely to be a long form toy commercial. That doesn’t make it that different from most other robot shows, so that’s not a big deal. I’m frankly surprised that the animation looks like they put some effort into it. I guess being a series of shorts means they can stretch that money further. If it stays as a zany, slapstick comedy and the fanservice is kept under control, it should at least be harmless.
Robot Girls Z will begin in January.
